Already the recipient of substantial tabloid attention, this catty biography of Paul Newman is the sort of book for which the phrase ""damning with faint praise"" was created. Based on 40-year-old interviews, published accounts and information from ""confidential sources,"" written in competent journalese by veteran film journalist Quirk (The Kennedys in Hollywood), the book begins by dismissing previous accounts of Newman for going too manageable on him, ""as if he were someone you didn't dare say anything bad about,"" and ends by scolding him for wanting to be ""Paul Newman movie celestial body, but only when he feels fond it."" In between comes a tendentious, shallow account of the actor's being and career that implies at every point that he is egotistical and untalented.

Paul Newman (b. 1925) was a movie star so impossibly attractive that all the most well-known faces of Hollywood, both male and female, wanted to bed him. He complied enthusiastically.

In spite of being a married dude with three children, Newman had affairs with Marlon Brando, James Dean, Montgomery Clift, Anthony Perkins, Sal Mineo, John Derek and Steve McQueen, among many others. Women were not neglected, and he managed to bed Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly and Jacqueline Kennedy. As well, he had affairs with most of his leading ladies, apparently giving Marlon Brando a run for his money. Brando was a petite touchy on the subject. I forget which web site revealed this tantalizing tidbit:

In Porter’s 2009 biography Paul Newman: The Gentleman Behind the Baby Blues, Marlon Brando commented about Newman’s bisexuality. Porter interviewed Brando before his death in 2004, and relates this quote from Marlon: "He never fooled me. Paul Newman had just as many on-location affairs as the rest of us, and he was just as bisexual as I was. But, where I was always getting caught with my pants down, he managed to act it in the dark."

Hmmm. Most of us think of Paul Newman as the actor fa
